American Idol……..good….bad……..don’t care?? Whatever you think, we do know that American Idol introduced Clay Aiken to the world. Every year, we are reminded of that by the many articles, polls and arguments that pop up all over the internet.

These reminders made me look in my American Idol picture file. Sometimes it is interesting to go back and remember the weeks of fun. I don’t know how any of the contestants make it through the tension, emotion, and politics each week.  Perhaps it was the love and affection of the fans. Do you remember?

There are two things we can see from these pictures!

1.  We take better pictures now than in 2003!

2.  Clay really didn’t want to be eliminated!!
